In Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, players can choose to be either spectators or participants in the conflict between the Cimmerians and the Vanir. As the player follows the windy path that takes them down the mountainside from Broken Leg Glen in the west, the modest Cimmerian settlement will slowly emerge from depth of the valley floor. A long palisade of wooden poles and spikes can be seen at the eastern side of the settlement, and players won't have to go far before the corpses of slain Cimmerians and Vanir can be seen littering the ground. Depending on where a player's alliances lie, they may be disgusted or delighted by this sight and vow to use their sword, bow or magic to join the battle.
